    Code copied from the tool isn’t working even though I chose the right plugin in the menu and pasted, is there an activation button hidden in the interface or do I need another key?

    I looked on other site, and there were no mentions of anyone running into what you are. No comments about "special tricks".

    You are using v.3.0.5 and KG from R2R? And on Windows (gotta ask here)? Why wouldn't you try making multiple keys and seeing the result before asking about it?

    Yes I am using 3.0.5 for windows, I made multiple keys but when I copy and paste them they appear in red text but I hit enter to confirm but nothing happens, I clicked somewhere on the interface in FL Studio (activating wasn’t working in bitwig) and it worked but now when I open it again it asks for a serial

    Did you check to make sure FL Studio and Bitwig are not loading different plugin formats? As always, I will suggest to you using the standalone version of BlueCat's Patchwork to do a little testing of the plugins with no DAW variances in your way. It won't "fix" anything per se, but it can usually help you figure out what is going on. And of course, you can also try using the plugin version inside each DAW to see those results as well. If you got one working but not the other, it's unlikely the problem is related to the keygen you are using. It being from R2R should already rule that out anyway...

    Think it only installs a 32 bit vst2, there’s no other format.

    Generate the serial. Copy to notepad. Copy from notepad using Right click copy. Uses right click paste, not Control V. Do NOT hit enter after pasting. Just click somewhere on the GUI. The serial number screen should disappear. Close plugin. Open it and it should be registered. You may need to run your DAW as admin whether you are admin or not. I used VSTHost. Ran it as admin and did the above procedure and it registered every time (5 times). ( I Deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\linplug\\Delta 3SysGlo) after I successfully registered to deactivate the plugin so I could retest.

    yes, thats what their nfo shows, and the only plugin inside the installer is a .dll so that is likely. So it is a 32bit vst2 format plugin. Did you wrap it with Jbridge? I remember when I was fooling around with some old AU plugins inside 32Lives! which is basically the same thing, REAPER was very helpful. I have no idea how tolerant Bitwig is of wrapped 32bit plugins. But Bluecats Patchwork Synth can be launched in Bitwig...

    I'm still using Delta III v3.02 PDX release via jBridge and it works fine.

    Try this: fire up Delta, select the S/N field, paste the key, and press enter, then click the Delta logo to dismiss the settings panel. Click on the Delta logo again (now on bottom right) and verify that the serial is in.

    So this and also @grounder ;s comments make sense about the data being a correct plain text format, and the other data entry quirks of this plugin make sense. But if the plugin is a single format, all the same files, why is Bitwig asking him to reauthorize the plugin in the first place? Is it looking in different locations for licensing related files? Does it do this often with VST2 plugins on Windows, or is this specific just to 32bit plugins wrapped by Jbridge?

    Further investigation revealed Delta 3 only worked in FL Studio and I also tried Sophistry which has the same problem but CRX4 works perfectly so I moved the banks there instead, I might just uninstall Delta and leave the rest since they work and the only one left is RMV which I haven’t gotten the library yet so I have not installed the plugin yet.

    Unfortunately, Delta III could not be permanently activated!

    LinPlug.Delta.III.v3.0.5.Incl.Keygen
    - Included keygen can activate most of all historical LinPlug plugs.

    Well, the plugin data is either stored relative to the plugin file itself (in this case where the bridged .DLL exists) or in an absolute path (which is usually in \Program Files (x86\). The absolute paths can be tricky since older Windowses don't have the Vista-onwards %APPDATA% for instance and have different expectations of the file system layout, and this might not be configurable.

    The plugin meta data (like configuration and registration info) should be in the system registry.

    In Delta's case, as far as I know: The preset path is configurable, but if I remember correctly defaults to be plugin DLL relative. But it will work without the factory presets.

    The plugin registration is in the registry; it will be shared between hosts (at least it is in my case) and the same reg info used both with the bridged plugin and the original 32-bit one. I just tried and it works.

    So yeah, agreed that the most likely cause is the data entry of the serial itself, that's why I think it's a good idea to press "enter" after copypasting it in, just in case. And then close the plugin config screen but not the plugin window itself to make sure it's in. I'm not sure if any hosts would block keyboard input to a plugin for copy/paste + enter, but as it's already confirmed that the serial can be put in I doubt this is the case.

    This is tidbit from the manual:
    'After you've installed and opened the full version of the Delta III, go to the
    instrument's rear panel. The S/N edit box should read "Please enter serial
    number here". Enter the serial number you have received into the S/N edit box. If
    the serial number has not been entered or it has been entered incorrectly, the full
    version of the Delta III will not play any notes.
    After entering the serial number return to the Delta III's front panel. Now send the
    Delta III a few note-on messages. After the Delta III receives the first few note-on
    messages it automatically becomes registered.
    After registration, the S/N field is
    no longer editable. You can confirm this by looking at the S/N field on the
    instrument's rear panel.'

    Now I just have to figure out how to leave separate Sophistry banks so if I want to temporarily delete them while leaving the rest of CRX4 intact I can, they might only work if everything is mixed together

    Someone's incorrectly [k]'d version of Bitwig 3 was capable of locking out the keyboard completely, even after it was regged and opened, so you never know! :rofl:

    Yeah it wasn’t that, plus I can use copy/paste with right click and that works on pretty much everything, or pull up the touch keyboard and paste that way

    Some kg and apps are just that way, for whatever reason. I just recently had to type in a code manually on some key which was actually emailed from some developer. That kb lockdown thing was on Mac hence the [k] and I already asked if you were doing this on Windows. I only mentioned it because it was the first and only time I've ever seen such a funny result...

    Did you try using Patchwork in Bitwig? Sometimes on Mac it leads to interesting results, like plugins Logic was rejecting showing up for no good reason. Morph 3 Pro was one like that on Intel.
